Q: It’s been 2 weeks and I have not seen any results with my Resperate and I find it difficult to follow the breathing exercises. What should I do?
A: Resperate takes at least 3-6 weeks of consistent usage before a user sees a drop in their blood pressure. No matter how often the user uses the device each day it will take him/her 3 – 6 weeks to see positive results. It is important to give Resperate the time it needs to work effectively. Not only, does the user need to give it 3 – 6 weeks, but also to use the device at least 4 times a week for 15 minutes each time.
Resperate lowers blood pressure by teaching users to regulate their natural breathing pattern, which takes time to get use to. Through regulated breathing the muscles around the users small blood vessels will dilate and relax, and then blood flows more freely. When the blood flows freely, blood pressure decreases. Since it is not always simple to learn to breath differently, we recommend that users, at first, use the device once a day so that they can gradually get use to the breathing technique and avoid frustration. Within 4 – 6 weeks users become accustomed to breathing differently during their 15-minute session and even find it simple and very therapeutic.
The Resperate support team is always available to coach users on how best to use the device and what steps are required to achieve positive results.
It will work in time! I still use it every day after two years and get 105/65 BP readings–and use Losarin HCTZ three days a week. I also practice the slow breathing with long exhaling when I am driving, sitting in meetings, listening to sermons, or watching TV. I like the relaxed feeling I have most of the time.
Hi Tom
Very encourageing blog. Would you please explain what Losarin HCTZ is?
Many thanks

Please don’t give up. I almost did. To complicate matters for me, I have COPD so the breathing technique might have been a little harder for me. It does work but it took a little longer for me and that might be the case for you too. Don’t lose your patience and become discouraged because if you persist, you will reap the benefits. I’ve only been using mine since September and normally do two sessions a day. I weaned myself off the 100 mg of Losartan I was on at the last and now take only 10 mg of Amlodipine a day. I’m hoping to get off that too sometime in the future.
